3.5...I wasn't exactly thrilled when my friend suggested we go get drinks at Jakes last night. Every time I've driven by it seems like its too posh and snotty. But its actually not that bad. The place...

I noticed it changes based on the day of the week. Every thing from a family tavern, to a young first love cafe, to friday night (right out of college) pick up joint. Weird.. and it has been there (in one form or another for 30 years). Everytime I come back into town I can count on it being there. The other dissapear....

I first went to Jakes about three years ago. I loved the decor. Casual, dark wood with a huge bar. This place was your typical American bar/restaurant, think Houstons but with a more neighborhood type...

In my mind, I have made Jake's out to be a great dining experience. However, when challenged with the task of writing a review, I'm confronted with the realization that maybe I'm not as happy with...

Reading the reviews, it appears I am not alone with having a kind of love/hate relationship with this place - it seesaws mainly due to the uneven food, as service has always been good, if (Miami)...

I don't want to slam any venture especially in these uncertain economic times, but I must say I don't like the new vibe of Jake's in South Miami. My wife and I, along with several other couples frequented...

I'm not sure what all of these other posts are complaining about. The Gastropub at Jake's is still Jake's but better! The new look of the restaurant is clean and bright. Overall, quite an improvement (just...

I'll be honest-I normally don't think about writing reviews. Heck, I actually created an account for this site just so I could say my piece. I always liked Jakes-good food, nice atmosphere, and a great bar....

I have been to Jake's Bar about 3 times. Each time the food has been okay. The steak was pretty good, big servings. Prices are reasonable, if you are in this area, don't expect to pay less than $15.00...

Great location, good food, ambiance.However, they fail to make the mark with their wait staff. Be ready to be treated with indifference once your order and first round of drinks are delivered.
